[Q] pre-rooted GRI40: flash update.zip: verification failed

I dont know if any similar stuffs are around...
so
I went from GRI40 to FRG33 using PASSIMG, rooted with z4, and then I tried to use the original recovery to flash update.zip of a pre-rooted GRI40
it says:
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
why does this happen?
I saw some others talking about custom recovery, but how to install/flash them
I don't prefer cmd but pls, post solutions
another thing is, I saw another developer mentioning using su.zip to root stock GRI40
how does that work? how to do that?
hope some of you can help me

Hi Here I have a BIG problem with understanding whats going on. This is forth week how i'm trying to push update for GB 2.3.1.
a little story:
I had ICS based MIUI rom installed for around 1.5 year and was extremely happy with its UI and performance and regular weekly updates - since it become more and more lagy after every update. my phone was to week for its software and I decided go back stock.

So what I done next i downloaded Odin and flashed stock gb 2.3.1 and now i can not update it in any way. System tryes to push OTA 4.0.1 but it ends up with following

It's normal you can't flash OTA because you have a custom recovery. You need stock recovery for that. You can download a factory image from Google, extract it and flash the recovery inside using fastboot.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#soju
ALSO, stop using Odin. There's no need to use Odin or nearly on Nexus S. This thing is nearly unbreakable and you have more chances of breaking stuff with Odin than anything else.

thanx for quick replay
flashed factory GB 2.3.6 straight away using sdk tools
now will root it and install custom clockwork recovery to prevent from automatic OTA updating to lagy ICS

Use FOTAKill instead,

Thanx for good advice. Installed it allready.

[Resolved] [Q] failed to verify whole-file signature

Hi,
I flashed CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS using ODIN and attempted to install CWM using ROM MANAGER but whenever I boot into recovery all I get is:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
About phone reveals:
Model number: GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.3.6
Baseband: I9000XXJW4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJW4-CL1043937 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXJW4
I have read loads of different posts about fixing this but I do not want to screw up the phone. Can someone please help me before I go mad? I believe that I need a '2e' recovery but where exactly do I get it and install it?
I am not a rookie and had absolutely no problems with my HTC Desire or ZTE Blade but this Samsung is something else.
Cheers guys.
